VACANCY FOR A CHOIR ACCOMPANIST

Lancaster Singers are looking for a competent accompanist with good listening skills who will enjoy exploring new music, has a sense of musical style, sensitivity and the patience of a saint!

A sense of humour is essential and the ability to read minds an advantage. This is a permanent post (subject to a three month probationary period) and remuneration is negotiable and in line with current practice. The appointment will start as soon as possible, at our mutual convenience. There will sometimes be engagements outside the normal rehearsal schedule and also opportunities to accompany us in performance.

As well as performing a mainstream repertoire we also sing less familiar works ranging from the Renaissance to the present day. Our website (www.lancastersingers.org) provides much more information and lists recent concerts.

We rehearse on Tuesday evenings, during term time, 7.30 p.m. – 9.30 p.m. at the Chaplaincy Centre, Lancaster University. This is five minutes from J33, M6. Parking is available and free. Our first rehearsal in the autumn term is on 11th September.

Interviews and auditions will be held in the Chaplaincy Centre at a mutually convenient time.
